England fucking sucks and has for some time. The amount of hype they get is mind blowing

gunsnewing @ 6/20/2014 5:42 PM
I would presume th hype comes from the fact that some of the best teams in euroleague play in England so soccer is huge there

Best players in their league aren't even English. England just sucks. Legacy of colonialism needs to die. Pompous poofers

In all fairness, England aren't very pompous anymore. Most of their commentators and analysts recognize (and have done for the past 8 years or so) that they just aren't good enough.

What they really need to do is forget about winning the next tournament and concentrate on winning a tournament in 10-20 years time by developing youth structures like those on continental Europe. I.e., ones that put an emphasis on ball control and tactics rather than huffing and puffing.

Bradley played a horrible, horrible game...

USA dominated Portugal if not for superstar ronaldo that's a trip to second round.

Germany game will be sick balls

martin @ 6/22/2014 9:05 PM
That was heart wrenching. Last 30 seconds
meloshouldgo @ 6/22/2014 9:07 PM
Wait are you guys happy with this result? They just had to defend for the last 20 seconds. 20 seconds and they would have been in the knock out stages. And now we need to hold possibly the best team in the tournament to a draw.
Germany plays a total team game has all kinds of options AND Klose.

What a great great effort but my god, play some prevent defense with < 1 min to go. Just clear the ball in the air and leave men back....should've never happened. Unbelievable finish.

Still its a good result for the US. They are obviously in with a win or draw. Portugal's goal deficit is huge...so even if Portugal win we'd likely have the tiebreaker. Ghana has a -1 on the US so if they won by a goal and the US lost by a goal the USA would still be in.

Jermaine Jones has been brilliant. People have been iffy about him because they believe he is undisciplined, but in these two games he has been the most active player on the field for the US, intercepting a ton of balls and moving the ball forward. And then today the great thunder strike.
